It's got stars on both sides. This isn't quite done as I need to line it and add a zipper. I may re-wet it and try to shape it a bit more. The solid areas didn't felt in width wise quite as much as the stranded part.... it flares abit at the top. Next time I'll do some decreases.

Color: dark olive and dry blue
Pattern: I made it up (got the star motif from Knitting on the Edge)
Needles: Addi Turbo #11
Yarn Quantity: half a ball of each balls (about 150 yards total)
